Description

It’s understandable that diagnosing and treating young children for ADD is controversial. However, it remains crucial to identify signs that are reliable predictors of a future, if not current, diagnosis of ADD. By delaying intervention, problems will only get worse and undesirable behaviors will be harder to correct – even into adulthood.
